Ajab-Gajab: At present, people in India speak more in Hindi and English, leaving the ancient languages. However, there are still many places where people speak in Sanskrit. The history of Sanskrit in India is very old. Many languages have been born from Sanskrit, which have made their place among the people. However, Sanskrit gradually disappeared from the spoken language of the people. Now Sanskrit language is usually used in the mantras of worship. However, in some villages of India, Sanskrit language is still the main spoken language.
